Sometimes those children eventually catch on, but what if they don\u2019t? Often, we assume those children aren\u2019t as smart as the other children. But what if the issue is that their brains are wired in a particular way, and how they are taught needs to be adjusted instead of just repeating the same methods over and over again in the same way?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent research has shown that the brain can adapt and make&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellmind.com\/what-is-brain-plasticity-2794886\">new connections<\/a>&nbsp;even into old age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edutopia.org\/article\/how-multisensory-activities-enhance-reading-skills\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How Multisensory Activities Enhance Reading Skills<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is an interesting article from Edutopia contributor Laura DePriest.
